Summary:
The Blooming Prairie Public Schools district in Minnesota consists of two schools - Blooming Prairie Elementary and Blooming Prairie High School. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the high school has room for improvement in certain areas.
Blooming Prairie Elementary consistently excels, with high proficiency rates on MCA-III tests that exceed district and state averages. The school is ranked in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools and boasts a small student-teacher ratio of 13.4. In contrast, Blooming Prairie High School performs reasonably well, with a strong 98.1% graduation rate, but its academic performance on MCA-III tests is more average compared to state benchmarks.
The data also reveals a significant performance gap between the elementary and high school, suggesting potential issues with academic continuity or curriculum alignment. Additionally, both schools have a student population that is over 90% white, which is not representative of the broader racial diversity in Minnesota. The district also has a sizable economically disadvantaged population, with around 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
